Yeah we did haha. Oh and Revvy a bit too, team effort.
And if I am shelling out for two lifetime memberships, be prepared to see me drink a lot.

So, my roommate got a Culligan subscription so he's getting all these plastic carboys to compete with mine (ha! As if he could possibly beat me in the carboy numbers game!) You think he'd be mad if I popped my 12% apfelwein carboy into the water dispenser?

It's all a matter of what you can afford and what is available.

I agree with this. I'm new to mead making, but until I can afford carboys, hydrometers, racking canes, etc... I'm just gonna be happy that mead making is an accessible hobby. um... that tastes good!
